The DNA of a cell contains the instructions that tell it what to do. Changes in a cell’s DNA tell it to grow quickly and to live when healthy cells would die. The accumulating cells form a tumor that can invade and destroy healthy tissue. Eventually, cells can break off and spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.
